"Miao Village?"
"Yes, they also want to go to Dashan now. Almost all the Miao Villages in the next county are Miao Villages, but there is a Miao Village very close to us that has been renamed and is now called Shushu Village. Young children are determined to study and take exams, and walk out of the mountains...
Those who are not good at studying have to work hard.
There are quite a few going out to work this year. br>
They like the fashionable clothes outside. ”
Wang Qingzhong smiled lightly.
Not only the Miao Village in the next county, but also here in Fenglei Town.
There are many mountains, transportation is inconvenient, the terrain is steep, and there are few processing plants.
It can’t compare to the east of Fenglei Town.
Although there are mountains, they are not as high and deep as they are here, and there is no flat place anywhere.
Only when you get near the county seat, such as Chenwangzhuang, the east of Huangni Town, and the south of Gogeying, will you find flat terrain.
Unlike here, it is difficult to open up wasteland.
Not to mention the processing factory.
If you have money, you won’t open here.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the light suddenly became much weaker, and the yard became dim.
Wang Qingzhong put away the account books and called his father Wang Cunye, saying that he would have dinner at his house. Knowing that Chen Ling could not leave at night, his two sisters-in-law went home early and started preparing meals.
Big brother is probably coming back from town soon.
Just say go there early.
The weather has not been very good these days.
In case it rains, have an early meal and rest early.
"Zhenzhen, don't run around with Ruirui. It's time to eat. Go to my house to eat tonight."
"Eating now? Second brother, I haven't checked it for you yet."
"Don't worry, it's dark and you can't see anything clearly. Your brother-in-law and I haven't finished the calculation yet. Let's do it tomorrow."
Wang Qingzhong fooled the little girl casually, "Now, first For dinner, your two sisters-in-law cooked a delicious meal today.”
"Oh, you guessed it right, your sister-in-law is planning to stew a big pot of bacon!"
"Wow, I want to eat it, it's all mine."
Wang Zhen is so big Shouting, Ruirui also raised his fleshy little arms and shouted: "Wo's~Wo's~"
"Hahaha, good Ruirui, go with your second uncle, let's have a taste of you two Is the rice cooked by Jin Jin as delicious as your father’s?”
Wang Qingzhong liked his little nephew’s cute appearance so much that he picked him up, teased him, and then put him on the pack horse. superior.
Lead the horse out.
Ruirui often rides little green horses with her father at home.
But I have never ridden such a petite and exquisite draft horse.
Just now, Wang Zhenzhen and I were feeding the horses food and drinking water. They kept shouting about ponies, ponies.
But Wang Zhenzhen jumped a little too far, but he didn’t dare to let him ride a horse by himself.
I kept pulling him to play with other things.
Now that Wang Qingzhong and Chen Ling are following, they are naturally not afraid.
Rui Rui also seemed very excited. She sat on the back of the pack horse, grabbed the horse's mane, shook her calves, and kept shouting "drive, drive, drive".
Let a group of little kids running around and playing in the village stop and look at him from time to time.
Pointing, giggling, and after Wang Zhenzhen said a few words, he ran away happily.
In this summer, under the gradually darkening night, we ran home to have dinner.
The three adults, Chen Ling, and their two little kids, walked down the slope and soon arrived at Wang Qingzhong’s house on the edge of the village, not far from the entrance of the village.
At this time, Guo Xinping and Su Ligai, the two sisters-in-law, had almost finished making the nine bowls.
Guo Xinping is washing bacon under the dim electric light.
There is also a portion of waxed pork ribs.
Guo Xinping, whose face was covered with sweat and her cheeks were red, raised her head and smiled: "I came just in time. You guys are strong and can cut the meat neatly. After cutting, hurry up and put it in the pot to stew. It just thundered in the sky."
"I Come on, let me do it.”
Chen Ling hurried forward to help.
Wang Qingzhong also came over: "Lingzi, you chop the ribs, and I'll cut this."
"Okay."
The two of them cut the bacon and pork ribs in three strokes.
Cut the cured pork ribs into sections.
The bacon is cut into large lumps and square pieces, which makes it more enjoyable to eat.
After cutting, put it into a hanging pot the size of a basin, add onions, ginger, garlic, dried chilies, red pepper, potatoes, sweet potato noodles, white radish, pickled cabbage, fried tofu, fungus, and bamboo shoots. Throw all kinds of hodgepodge in, then hang it on the fire pit and start simmering.
“Dad, this~”
Ruirui looked curiously at the dark hanging pot, which was larger than the basin. He stood next to Chen Ling and looked up at him with dark eyes.
“This is a hanging pot. We also have one at home, but it’s not as big as this one. We only use it when it’s cold.”
Chen Ling touched his little head and explained with a smile. , "Let's go play with my aunt, it's hot here."
The little baby pointed at a large hanging pot of bacon and said with a smile: "What a good seven!"
Su Ligai When I met my two aunts Guo Xinping, I couldn't help but smile in surprise: "Ruirui is so smart... This pot of meat will be all yours later, and no one else will eat it, so you can eat as much as you want, okay?"
"Okay, nest."
The brat was so happy that his eyes almost disappeared from laughter, and he shouted with his little white teeth exposed.
The two aunts liked him even more when they saw this, and teased him while putting away the food.
Nearly twenty minutes passed, the hanging pot boiled, and the aroma began to dissipate.
He couldn't wait to return to Chen Ling. He stuck his little head out and stared longingly at the steaming pot, twitching his nose and swallowing saliva.
Like a little puppy waiting to be fed at the dinner table.
“Niu Niu, eat Niu Niu.”
“This is not beef, it is bacon. Wait a moment, it will be ready in a while.”
Bacon and ingredients in the hanging pot It will taste delicious only if it is completely stewed, but you can smell the aroma wafting out.
Chen Ling couldn't help but twitch his index finger.
There are strong traces in the three provinces of Fenglei Town. It is said that this hanging pot was passed down from the Miao people who migrated north during the Qianlong period.
That’s what I said.
Actually, everyone in the mountains here has a hanging pot.
After all, after autumn, the cold in the mountains is getting stronger. Eating around a hot hanging pot is very refreshing.
But it is not easy to have meat in the pot.
In the past, everyone just simmered a pot of hot potatoes.
The stewed potatoes are best for warming up when eaten in winter, but don’t be in a hurry when eating, otherwise one bite will burn your heart.
It’s also very choking.
The fire pit Chen Ling built outside the kitchen is not only convenient for barbecue, but also for eating this hanging pot.
In fact, hanging pot is somewhat similar to hot pot and is not suitable for summer.
Usually also in the kitchen.
Many people in the mountains have a smaller stove hole drilled next to the big pot on the stove.
A hanging pot is placed on the stove hole. The stove hole is connected to the stove hole, and the flame in the stove hole can reach directly to the bottom of the hanging pot. Its temperature and heat are extremely high, making it easiest to cook the food in the hanging pot and bring out the delicious food.
Of course.
People who are more particular will dig a square, about one meter deep pit in a separate kitchen.
The pit will be surrounded by relatively smooth bluestone or bricks to prevent fire ashes from spreading around and make it easier for people to put their feet when warming themselves by the fire.
Ordinary families do not dig a pit, but simply move a few pieces of bluestone or bricks from the wild and place them against the corners of the wall to form a semicircle or oval. This is how a simple fire pit is formed.
A few crossbars are hung with iron wires above the fire pit. Iron nails are evenly nailed on the crossbars to facilitate the hanging of pork, mutton, beef and chicken when making and smoking bacon.
As for what Chen Ling did at the farm, it was to be used both with barbecue.
So the firepit was set up outdoors.
……
“The bacon is stewed and it’s on the table.”
“It’s very cool today and it’s probably going to rain. It’s just right to eat hanging pot. "
Wang Qingzhong said hello, and together with Chen Ling, he placed the hot hanging pot in the middle of the nine bowls.
"No, my sister-in-law put away the hanging pot just because of the weather."
Chen Ling took a deep breath and inhaled the rich fragrance into his nose, and couldn't help but enjoy it: "Tsk, it smells so good, it's so good." It’s the original earthen pot bacon from our mountains that has the most appealing taste.”
The green scallions on top cannot cover the red soup and the tumbling chunks of meat.
The hanging pot was still bubbling slightly, and Wang Zhenzhen and Ruirui couldn't wait to jump up and down at the table and scream.
“How old are you and you are still as greedy as Ruirui? I think you are about to be beaten.”
Wang Cunye scolded his youngest daughter with a sullen face.
Wang Zhenzhen pursed his lips and was about to retort.
I heard the little yellow dog barking and running out, and soon the voices of two excited little kids came from outside.
"It smells so good, it smells so good. Grandpa, are you making something delicious? Did your uncle cook it?"
"It must be, my uncle's cooking is delicious. I have grown up When I grow up, I will go to school with my aunt and uncle and eat delicious food every day.”
But it was Wang Qingwen who led Xiaodong back.
After Chen Ling parked the tractor at Fenglei Town Middle School in the afternoon, the two of them played around the tractor all afternoon.
Wang Qingwen was watching them play there.
Let Su Li go back to cooking first and entertain Chen Ling in the evening.
"You two little heartless little ones know your uncle. Go and ask your mother, who cooked dinner this year?"
Wang Cunye trained this and that.
But no one is afraid of him.
Everyone laughed, first ran to Chen Ling to tease Ruirui, and then while washing their hands, they showed off to Wang Zhenzhen what they had played in the afternoon.
"Okay, the eldest brother and the two babies are back, we can start dinner."
Chen Ling gave up his seat to his eldest uncle and sat aside with his son in his arms.
Wang Qingwen, who has always been serious and upright, was also smiling when he saw his nephew. He pressed Chen Ling to prevent him from moving: "Sit down and stop moving. Ruirui, I'll hold him, I'll hold him."
Chen Ling I had no choice but to hand over my son.
"Good Ruirui, sleep with your uncle tonight. There are a lot of fireflies in my yard."
"Niu Niu~"
"I want to eat meat. Come on, uncle, let’s eat big pieces for you.”
Seeing my uncle's face burst into laughter.
Chen Ling felt helpless, shook his head, ignored it, and started eating.
Pick up a piece of cured pork ribs. The red meat has been stewed until it is tender.
After one bite, the texture is smooth and tender, the soup is overflowing, and the meat juice fills your mouth.
“Tsk, it’s so enjoyable, so enjoyable.”
After traveling such a long way, Chen Ling was already hungry.
After eating several pieces of pork ribs in a row, I couldn’t help but enjoy it.
Add another piece of bacon. Compared with the cured pork ribs, this cooked bacon is fat and thin, and the texture is clearly visible.
The skin is tough and the meat is soft, and the edges are naturally curled after being stewed at high temperature.
Chew carefully. Even if you have eaten pork ribs before, your mouth will be full of oil and moist.
"Tsk, this bacon smells so good, so delicious."
"Haha, it's delicious. Ling Zi, come on, let's have a drink."
Push the cup to another, and eat big. Meat.
Not long after, the thunder in the sky became louder and the rain began to fall.
The room is even more steamy.
Plus the little kid is shouting lively.
I am really unhappy.
I am tired from drinking and eating meat.
Su Li and her sister-in-law served out some steamed buns baked in an earthen stove for everyone to eat.
This grilled steamed bun is golden in color, crispy and fragrant. It tastes amazing after being soaked in broth and eaten again.
